The Khelafat Majlish, also spelt Khelafat Majlis (Bengali: খেলাফত মজলিস, romanized: Caliphate Council), is a far-right Islamist political party in Bangladesh. The party was founded in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, in 1989 by Deobandi scholar Azizul Haque along with Ahmad Abdul Qadir and former leaders of the National Awami Party and Tamaddun Majlish. Since its founding, it has only ever gained one seat in the country's National Parliament.[1] The party split into two in 2005, with Azizul Haque's faction taking the name Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish.
